FRENCH FINANCE MINISTER FRANCOIS BAROIN
ON PROSPECTS FOR AN AGREEMENT ON MONDAY:
"Today we have all the elements weneed to reach a deal.
It's like a puzzle. All the pieces are on the table; what's
needed now is to put them together and that we will try to do
this afternoon."
ON REFORM IN GREECE:
"Greece, through its parliament and the coalition,has made
the commitments which we expected of it. Greece will have to
continue down this path toward control over its own structural
reforms, and we, in our role as creditors, will have to continue
to accompany it. This is the point of the meeting.
"We have a chance tonight to present a fixed picture of what
is needed to accompany Greece forward in its new programme."
